Demography and Populations
Introduction
Current longevity records for the species from the same long-term study in Guánica Dry Forest from 1989-2010 show a longevity minimum of 8 years, 8 months (Faaborg, unpublished data). Mark recapture models estimate annual survival rate to be 66.9% (Faaborg and Toms, unpublished data). Average number of captures per netline for annual winter mistnetting in Guánica Forest from 1989-2010 is shown (Table 1).
Upon one capture in Guánica Dry Forest, a Puerto Rican Lizard-Cuckoo was found to have a small twig (8-10 cm long and 2-4 mm in diameter) impaled through its body, entering just inside and above the right leg, and exiting approximately midway between the right leg and spine. The wound had started to heal, and the individual showed no obvious ill-effects from its injury (J. Toms, personal communication).
